Same sex marriage

[Kev]

Utter,utter,utter bollocks.

You are simply intolerant of Christianity now you have left it mate. Cognitive dissonance theory in action. That is all.

I am all for gay couples having exactly the same legal status and protections enshrined in law, the same as straight couples. A civil contract? Sure.

A Christian marriage? How can that be enforced, the Bible says it is wrong and unlawful.

The gay lobby is so intolerant. They have all the legal rights they need to live full and accepted lives. But they continue to push further.

In a true and free society everyone has the right to their beliefs. That includes those who don't agree with you.

If somebody wants to believe homosexuality is a sin, then that is their right.

It's actually such a warped view of equal rights that we have. If Christians behaved the same way they would be taking secular organisations to court and winning cases against David Attenborogh for offending them by describing evolution on his tv programs, they would be suing people for claiming God did not exist etc.

People have different opinions. It's part of life.

You have again revealed your judgemental Christian arrogance in warping a debate to present yourself as a victim of atheism. Firstly you assumed that I was talking about the Gay lobby and not only that you decided for me what my position would be in the debate. My exclamation of bollocks was in response to your ludicrous ill informed assertion that prayers at council meetings were voluntary and that the atheist councillor was the one being intolerant.Having recently attended a council meeting as a football supporter trying to ensure our ground was bought back by the council, I was shocked that they started the meeting with a Christian prayer. There is no option to leave the chamber and I am sure it was not only atheists who were embarrassed but also the local Seikh councillor.

You seem to forget that you are the Status Quo, not the oppressed minority. Lecturing me on tolerance is a joke mate. You equated homosexuality, to incest and bestiality. You seem to think that it's OK to quote the Bible in dismissing the sanctioning of Gay marriage in a church, something I totally understand if you believe the Bible is God's word, it's shows consistency. The Bible is pretty unequivocal on the subject. The problem comes when you then dismiss the whole of Jesus's message on being no part of the world, and rendering Ceasar's things to Ceasar, by insisting Christianity should be part of Politics?

You also can not compare a scientific point of view that is accepted by the majority being talked about on TV as a reason to go to court. There are religious programs on television and plenty of channels for evangelical and other forms of Christian, Muslim and other beliefs however far out to be broadcast. You are the one with a warped view on equal rights. The only way to ensure equal respect is shown in the public sector is to keep religion out of politics.

You are extremely opinionated on many subjects of which you seem to have little experience. Perhaps your paranoid view of being a victim of secularisms endeavours to undermine your belief system is fed by your own doubts of your own ridiculous and peculiar version of Christianitys validity.Oh and give the amateur Psychology a rest, it is not very becoming.

Sorry buy I can't be bothered to read this.
